If this motor hasn't been abused, then you should have one of the best and most reliable 50cc motors there is. I have one of them for five or six years without not a single problem. Still running strong.

RE: dl50
The DL engines often had issues with the bearing cages on the rod to crank and piston wrist pins. In order to get the most from your 50 I would suggest using a good oil mixed at 32:1 or 4 four ounces of oil per gallon of gas. Some of these engines are still performing well. Good luck.
